2. I will not give one ounce of attention to that scumbag.


He is beneath contempt and his choice of Palin was an in-your-face "fuck you" to all of us. Fuck him.

4. I had a choice between Barack's speech, and football ...
but it was the Browns, so there was no question ever in my mind ...

Go Stillers!

5. I haven't watched ANY of it.
I won't even watch the news in the morning. I can't stand seeing those people. I can't believe what I'm typing, because I'm from an Independent family. When I was growing up, there was none of this animosity between the parties. It's like a civil war about to explode.

6. I've not been able to stomach watching McCain since I moved to AZ - 17 years ago.

8. That and tennis
I won't go near that Nazifest. At the gym last night I was trying to keep my head down and concentrate on my Morrissey videos as I used the treadmill and elliptical. On occasion when I did look up I yelled epithets at the screen and flipped it off. Let people think I'm nuts.

15. I'm going to re-re-re-re-re-re watch "All About Eve" tonight instead.
It's one of my favorite movies. :-)

Seeing the magnificent Bette Davis as Margo Channing will always beat out that icky old creep running for President.

24. I like C-Span anyway for things like this.
I watched the Dem Convention mostly on C-Span and got to see tons of things that were not even mentioned on cable or networks.

25. Agreed.

As much as I like Olberman, I wanted to watch the convention, not listen to the opinions of the talking heads.

27. Even better, watch Obama take on O'Reilly on the 10PM rebroadcast and
miss McCain completely!
